CREATING DISKETTES FROM THE OS/2 CD-ROM
---------------------------------------

   Use the LOADDSKF utility program to create the diskettes.
   (LOADDSKF.EXE is in the DISKIMGS directory of the CD.  LOADDSKF can be
   run from either the DOS or OS/2 operating system.)

   In the following section, you will see the lists of the diskettes for
   this version of OS/2 and the actual diskette names as they exist on the
   CD.  For each diskette image file, use LOADDSKF to expand the image to
   its own diskette. (Note that you must use formatted diskettes for
   this procedure.)

   For example:

     cddrive:\DISKIMGS\LOADDSKF cddrive:\DISKIMGS\OS2\size\disk_name d:

   where:

      cddrive is the drive letter of the CD-ROM

      size is 35 for 3.5-inch 1.44MB diskettes or 525 for 5.25-inch 1.2MB
      diskettes

      disk_name is the diskette image file name  (for example, DISK1.DSK,
      PMDD1.DSK.)

      d is the drive letter of your diskette drive (A: or B:)

ULTIMEDIA
---------

   o   If you have an Ultimedia preinstalled system,
       or you installed Windows Version 3.1 from your
       Ultimedia System CD-ROM, do the following when
       prompted for the Windows Version 3.1 diskettes:

        1.  Insert the Ultimedia System CD-ROM into the drive.
        2.  Change to the directory containing Windows 3.1 on
            your CD-ROM.
            For example, type:

                    D:\WINSETUP

        3.  Continue with the installation process.


PRINTER CONSIDERATIONS
----------------------

   o   If you need to add a Windows printer driver
       after installing this version of OS/2, you must
       install the printer driver from the Windows
       Control Panel.  Then, use the OS/2 Printer
       object to install the corresponding OS/2
       printer driver.

   o   The OS/2 printer drivers in this version of
       the OS/2 printer driver diskettes are stored
       in a packed format that is not compatible with
       OS/2 1.3 or 2.0.  To install one of the new
       OS/2 printer drivers on a system with
       OS/2 1.3 or 2.0 installed, you must first
       unpack the driver on a system that has this
       version of OS/2 installed.  You do not have to
       complete these steps to install a printer driver
       on a system that already has this version of OS/2
       installed.

       NOTE:  Do not install the new 32-bit
       PostScript driver (PSCRIPT.DR_) that came
       with this version of OS/2 on a system with OS/2 1.3
       or 2.0 installed.  It is not compatible with
       these versions of OS/2.  Current compatibility
       information for this driver is
       available through your dealer, Marketing
       Representative, CompuServe, IBM National
       Support Center Bulletin Board System (NSC
       BBS), and IBMLink.

       To unpack a printer driver for use on a
       OS/2 1.3 or OS/2 2.0 system, complete the
       following steps on your system that has this
       version of OS/2 installed.
       1.  Open an OS/2 command prompt.
       2.  Type:

             MD X:\DRIVER

           Where X is a drive on your system.
       3.  Insert into drive A the OS/2 Performance Beta
           printer driver diskette that contains
           the printer driver you want to install.
           The printer driver names end in an underscore symbol ( _ ).

             PostScript          1         PSCRIPT.DR_

         Note:

         In order to get the proper printer driver directory
         structure on systems with OS/2 1.3, IBMPCL3, IBMPCL5,
         HPDeskJet and PaintJet must be installed using the
         Printer Install option in the Print Manager.  Do not
         use the Control Panel to install these printer drivers.


       4.  Type:

             UNPACK A:\Packed name X:\DRIVER

           Where X is a drive on your system.  For
           example if you want to install the
           Epson printer driver, type :

             UNPACK A:\EPSON.DR_ X:\DRIVER

           The printer driver files are now
           unpacked in the X:\DRIVER directory.

       5.  Copy the driver files to a diskette and
           install them onto your OS/2 1.3 or 2.0
           system.


EXTENDED SERVICES (ES) 1.0 CONSIDERATIONS
-----------------------------------------

   o   If you installed OS/2  Performance Beta
       on a system that already had Extended Services
       installed, replace the existing ESSTART.CMD file
       with the ESSTART.BAK file that was installed by
       OS/2  Performance Beta.  (The ESSTART.BAK file
       is located in the OS2\INSTALL subdirectory.)

   o   If you are installing Extended Services
       over OS/2  Performance Beta for the first
       time (that is, there is no Extended Services on the
       workstation), or if you are installing
       Extended Services from diskettes, rename
       the existing ESSTART.CMD file from the
       Extended Services Diskette 1.  Then, copy
       the file ESSTART.BAK from the \OS2\INSTALL
       directory to Extended Services Diskette 1.
       Finally, rename the ESSTART.BAK file
       ESSTART.CMD on ES Diskette 1, and begin the installation of
       Extended Services.


HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
-----------------------

   o If you are using a ThinkPad 750C Series, after installing
     this version of the Performance Beta, you might find that
     your DOS full-screen session is corrupted.  To fix
     this problem you must reinstall the video driver
     from the ThinkPad video features diskette.

   o After installation, you might have a video problem with the
     ThinkPad 750C.  To fix this problem, do the following:

      1.  Start your system using the Installation disk
      2.  Run SETVGA X:
          where:
             X=your OS/2 boot drive

      3.  Restart your system, and then reinstall the ThinkPad 750c video
          drivers.

   o If you are using an IOMEGA PC Powered Pro 90, you must call the IOMEGA
     service number and request OAD Driver Version 2.3.

   o If you have an IBM PS/2 Model L40 SX and you want to install this
     version of OS/2, you must obtain the new IBM1FLPY.ADD device driver
     file from COMPUSERV or OS2BBS. (Internal IBM users can also obtain
     this file from the OS2BETA Tools Disk.)  Copy IBM1FLPY.ADD to
     Diskette 1 of the OS/2 diskettes that came with this version of OS/2,
     and then proceed to install OS/2.


VIDEO CONSIDERATIONS
--------------------

   The following information pertains to video
   support for this version of OS/2.

   Note:  If you want to change your video
          mode you must use the Selective
          Install program located in the
          System Setup folder.  Do not use
          DSPINSTL.EXE to change your video
          support.

          After using Selective Install
          for VGA, you must delete the
          SVGADATA.PMI file located in the
          OS2 directory before you shut down
          your system.



RESTORING HIGH-RESOLUTION AND COLOR AFTER
INSTALLING OS/2 PERFORMANCE BETA
____________________________________________

   Install your video display driver using the installation
   procedures provided in the README file that comes
   with the video display driver.  Refer to the notes following
   the table for exceptions and workarounds that
   apply to the display drivers listed below.

   NOTE:

   If you install display drivers other than those that came
   with this version of OS/2 or previous versions of OS/2, files
   such as BVHVGA.DLL, BVHSVGA.DLL, VGA.SYS, and VSVGA.SYS might
   be replaced.  Replacing those files removes any updates
   applied to the files when you installed the OS/2 Performance
   Beta Version 2.99.

   NOTES:

 a. You can reinstall the S3 16-bit display driver for the
    801, 805, and 928 chip sets.  There are several versions
    of OS/2 drivers (available on electronic services and
    from other vendors) supporting the 90C801, 90C805, and
    90C928 chip sets from the S3 Corporation.  IBM provides
    service for the S3 32-bit display driver and recommends
    that you install the new version of this driver included
    in this version of OS/2.  This 32-bit display driver better
    utilizes the S3 chip sets.

    Note: IBM recommends that you DO NOT reinstall the
          S3-supplied 16-bit driver, the STB-supplied
          S3 driver, or the IBM-supplied S3-16M driver.

    For information about installing S3 video display drivers
    see the "S3 Installation" section in this file.

 b. You can reinstall the Trident-supplied 16-bit display
    driver, but the OS/2 Performance Beta Version 2.99 SVGA 32-bit
    display driver better utilizes the Trident 8900C cards.
    IBM provides service for the OS/2 Performance Beta
    SVGA 32-bit display driver and recommends that you
    install the new version of this driver.

    Note:

     IBM recommends that you DO NOT reinstall the Trident driver
     supplied on numerous bulletin boards, because it removes
     fixes from the Base Video Handler and Virtual Device Driver
     for the OS/2 SVGA driver.

    To install the OS/2 Performance Beta SVGA 32-bit
    display driver, follow these steps:

      1. Open the OS/2 System folder.

      2. Open System Setup folder.

      3. Open Selective Install.

      4. When you see the Install screen, select
         Primary Display in the Display section.

      5. Select Install.

      6. When you see the Primary Display Adapter Type window,
         select Trident 8900C.

      7. Follow the instructions for the Monitor
         Configuration/Selection Utility.  For more information
         on when to use this utility to set the refresh rate,
         see the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide", Appendix A.

 c. After you install the OS/2 Performance Beta,
    install the Weitek display driver by following the
    instructions provided in the Weitek README file.
    IBM testing indicates that the Weitek display driver
    runs successfully on several computers but encounters
    "snow" with some configurations.


DPMS-SUPPORTED DISPLAYS


      The XGA DMQS (\xga$dmqs\*.dqs) files in this version
      of the operating system do not have DPMS (Display
      Power Management Signaling) enabled for the DPMS
      supported displays. You must use the DPMS OVERRIDE
      parameter provided with the Power Management Utility
      that is located in System Setup.


INSTALLATION OF SPECIFIC VIDEO ADAPTERS

  o  ATI Graphics Pro Display Adapter

     In the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide",
     instructions are given for configuring the
     ATI** Graphics Ultra Pro.  These instructions
     state that the display type for 640 x 480 must
     be configured to IBM DEFAULT.  Note that this
     setting might be referred to as 60Hz rather
     than IBM DEFAULT.

  o  Radius XGA Display Adapter

     The Radius XGA display adapter is supported on
     PS/2* Models 35 and 40 and PS/ValuePoint* 486
     systems.  If you are using this display adapter
     on a PS/ValuePoint system, the VPXGA.EXE
     utility is required.  For a copy of this
     utility program, check your Radius installation
     diskette or contact Radius.

  o  Sigma Legend Display Adapter

     The OS/2 Performance Beta cannot
     restore the state of a Sigma Legend** display adapter
     after you switch sessions or video modes.
     Also, the Sigma Legend video adapter might
     cause the system to stop when using 1024 x 768
     x 256 color mode.  Use only 640 x 480 or 800 x
     600 mode with this adapter.

S3 VIDEO ACCELERATOR DRIVER FOR OS/2
------------------------------------

    The S3 video accelerator driver supports the
    86C801/86C805 and 86C928 chip sets from the
    S3** Corporation.  These chip sets are found
    on many leading video display adapters,
    including Actix**, Artist Graphics**,
    Diamond Stealth**, Focus**, Metheus**, MiroMAGIC,
    Nth Graphics**, Number Nine**, Orchid**, PCG**,
    Vermont**, Video 7**, Volante** and on the system
    boards of leading hardware systems, such as those
    from the IBM* Corporation and the Dell** Computer
    Corporation.


   SUPPORTED FEATURES

    This S3 video accelerator driver supports the following
    number of columns and rows in an OS/2 full-screen session:

       Columns    Rows
         132      25
         132      43


    COMPATIBILITY
    -------------

    IBM has tested many display adapters containing the
    S3 chips sets.  Those that have tested successfully
    are listed in this README file.  However, certain
    display adapters in combination with certain chip
    sets might not be supported.  IBM is continuing
    to test; therefore, support for additional combinations
    is expected to be added over time.


    NOTE: If you are using the 256 color mode, and your
    desktop appears to be darker than other color modes,
    you must edit the SVGADATA.PMI file located in
    the \OS2 directory.

    Change the following statement from:

                   HI-COLOR DAC by ....
              to:
                   HI-COLOR DAC by unknown

    To make the changes effective, shut down OS/2 and then
    restart your system.

   of CD-ROM applications, enabling better performance for other tasks
   while the CD-ROM drive is being accessed.  See the /I parameter below.


 For the MITFX001.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in CONFIG.SYS
 is as follows:

    BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD [/P:nnn] [I:nn] [/V]


    [/P:nnn]

      Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card.
      This must be the same number as specified by the DIP switch
      on the interface card.


    [/I:nn]

      Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ) channel number.  This must
      match the value specified on the jumper setting on the interface
      card.  If this parameter is not specified, the device driver will
      use software polling transfer.


    [/V]

      The device driver will display the device driver revision level
      and CD-ROM product information at boot time.



 Mitsumi CD-ROM Device Driver Parameter Examples

      Valid values for X are 0, 1, 2, 3.  The default is zero.

      LMS205 locates all CM250 and CM260 host adapters and assigns unit
      numbers based on the order in which each was found.

      This parameter tells LMS205 which BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD line it is
      currently processing.


    [/m:Y]

      Indicates the number of 2500 byte CD frame buffers that should
      be allocated by the LMS205.ADD driver.

      Valid values for Y are 8,..., 26.  The default is 16.  Any value below
      the minimum (8) will be assigned the minimum (8).



    [/V]

      The device driver will display the device driver revision level
      and CD-ROM product information at startup time.

      For example,

       IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00  02-NOV-93
       Philips LMS Unit 0: CM205 CDROM drive, FR4, CM260 HA Port: 0340 IRQ: 05


 Philips LMS 206 Device Driver Parameters
 ----------------------------------------

 The parameters for the following CD-ROM adapter device drivers are
 described in this section:

    LMS206.ADD

 This device driver supports the following CD-ROM drives:

    Philips LMS CM205MS,CM225MS  (multisession photo CD version of CM205)
    Philips LMS CM206,CM226


 NOTE: If you have installed this version of OS/2 and find that any
       of the above Philips CD-ROM drives do not function, you must copy
       the LMS206.ADD file to the \OS2 directory and add the following
       line to your CONFIG.SYS file:

               BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD

 This section lists the parameters that are supported for the
 Philips LMS CD-ROM device driver.  The parameters can be changed
 by modifying the BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD line in the CONFIG.SYS.

 For the LMS206.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in CONFIG.SYS
 is as follows:

    BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD [/P:nnn] [/u:X] [/m:Y] [/V]


    [/P:nnn]

      Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card.
      The value must be the same number as the port address selected
      by the jumper on the host interface card.


    [/u:X]

      Identifies a specific unit, X.

      Valid values for X are 0, 1, 2, 3.  The default is zero.

      LMS206 locates all CM250 and CM260 host adapters and assigns unit
      numbers based on the order in which each was found.

      This parameter tells LMS206 which BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD line it is
      currently processing.


    [/m:Y]

      Indicates the number of 2500 byte CD frame buffers that should
      be allocated by the LMS206.ADD driver.

      Valid values for Y are 8,..., 26.  The default is 16.  Any value below
      the minimum (8) will be assigned the minimum (8).



    [/V]

      The device driver will display the device driver revision level
      and CD-ROM product information at startup time.

      For example,

       IBM OS/2 LMS206.ADD 1.00  02-NOV-93
       Philips LMS Unit 0: CM206 CDROM drive, FR4, CM260 HA Port: 0340 IRQ: 05



SPECIAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
--------------------------------

  Migrating CONFIG.SYS
  --------------------
     If you migrate CONFIG.SYS statements that contain multiple CALL=
     statements, check the CONFIG.SYS file to be sure that the CALL=
     statements are not concatenated.  If the statements are concatenated,
     edit the CONFIG.SYS file so that the CALL= statements are on separate
     lines.

  RIPL Considerations
  -------------------
    RIPL users must contact their service representative to
    obtain the RIPL function supported by this version of OS/2.


  Installing with Adaptec 152X
  ----------------------------
    If you have an ADAPTEC 152X adapter with a Toshiba 3401 or Texel CD-ROM
    device, you must modify the CONFIG.SYS file located on Diskette 1 of
    the OS/2 Installation diskettes before you can install this version of
    OS/2 from CD-ROM.

        1.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file located on Diskette 1.
        2.  Change the following line to:

               BASEDEV=AHA152X.ADD /!SN

        3.  Save the file and proceed with the OS/2 installation.

    When the installation is complete, check the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file to
    ensure there is only one BASEDEV statement for AHA152X.ADD.  If you
    have two BASEDEV statements for AHA152X you must remove the
    statement that does not contain the /!SN parameter.


  Installing with SEMAINT
  -----------------------

    If you use SEMAINT to create maintenance systems to apply
    the Performance Beta, statements are added to the CONFIG.SYS file
    created by SEMAINT. These statements enable swapping to the
    target drive and directory of the maintenance system.  This
    path is determined by the /T: parameter that SEMAINT uses
    when it is started.  Swapping is enabled only on systems
    with 10 megabytes of RAM or less.  The initial swap file
    size will be set to 1024KB or 1 megabyte and can grow
    depending on the amount of virtual memory needed during
    installation of the Performance Beta.  This requires you to have
    at least 5 megabytes of free disk space prior to creating
    the maintenance system created by SEMAINT.

    If you have a maintenance system installed with this
    OS/2 version of SEMAINT, you must re-install using
    SEMAINT from this version of the Performance Beta.
